CODEINE
Frigid Stars LP
2023 Europe reissue

Simple and pure #Slowcore of the highest order.

The next one from my Vancouver haul, and one I’d been wanting a vinyl copy of for a very long time.

I bought A LOT of albums on Sub-Pop in the #90s , and other than maybe Seaweed’s Weak or Sunny Day Real Estate’s Diary, this might be my favorite Sub-Pop album ever.

There’s a great cover of “New Year’s” on here by Sooyoung Park, which he himself wouldn’t record until he was later in the band Seam, and it fits in nicely here amongst the rest of the album’s bleak, slow, and cold atmosphere.

This is the original album version, which is minus the 2 songs that the American CD included. Which is fine, as it works far better as an ALBUM minus those two songs.

A wonderful score for me.
